One billion people that is 15% of the world’s population, experience some form of disability, and disability prevalence is higher for developing countries. Between 110 million and 190 million people, experience significant disabilities.
People with disabilities are more likely to experience adverse socioeconomic outcomes such as less education, poorer health outcomes, lower levels of employment, and higher poverty rates.
Xoan Fernandez explains why supporting minority disability groups is important and how leading organizations are doing it today. Unless the majority of society changes, the world will never change and business is what leads that change. The disability market, which is an eight trillion-dollar market, still remains largely untapped. We all have a role to play to change mindsets and promote disability inclusion throughout society.
